FOREWORD 


Ic. Raout ToLentino, whose activities as a propagandist of Italian art in 
foreign countries have recently brought him the high distinction of the 
Commandership of the Italian Crown from H.M. the King of Italy, has 

the privilege of presenting, under the auspices of the American Art Galleries, his 
eighth exhibition in the United States of Italian Gothic and Renaissance art. 

Comm. Tolentino has long been favorably known for the quality and dis- 
crimination of his collections, and his beautiful galleries in the Florentine Palazzo 
Acciaioli, with its frescoed state room by Poccetti [by whom is a desk in the 
present sale], are well known to the amateurs of this country who have had occasion 
to request his advice or to compete for works of art at auction with the Cleveland, 
Boston, Detroit and other national Museums. 

In the large group of furniture are assembled a number of important rarities: 
a folding walnut state chair [No. 794] with hinged stretcher, of which type only 
two or three are known; a pair of chairs with tooled and polychromed leather 
backs, of the finest Venetian workmanship; two beautiful walnut cassoni in the 
manner of Jacopo Sansovino, and two other finely carved master-works of the 
Roman school; a remarkable Florentine gilded pastiglia cabinet on stand [No. 791] 
of the High Renaissance; a Venetian lectern with a bronze lion of St. Mark 
[No. 790], a sacristy cabinet of the Flemish school dated 1599, and finely painted 
with four full-length figures of saints; and a pair of resplendent Louis XV arm- 
chairs in red Venetian lacquer [No. 778]. Of the late Gothic period are a few 
cabinets of North Italian provenience, a carved walnut stall with two seats and 
a Sienese cassone painted after the manner of the Arras tapestries; for collectors, 
the simple and beautifully proportioned Dantesque and monastery chairs, early 
sgabelli and library tables of the Tuscan Quattrocento. 

The fifteenth century is also largely represented in forged wrought-iron work 
by Gothic torchéres, andirons and fireguards, together with the decorative wall 
brackets, grilles and garden gates of the Renaissance. An important item is a gilded 
palace balcony of the French Régence, with an abundance of richly scrolled leafage 
ornament, fully equal in merit to the famous balustrades of Madame de Pompadour’s 
Chateau de Bellevue. 

The rich stuffs of the collection include silk damasks, the sturdy Genoese 
brocatelles with linen weft, brocades (among which are two sumptuous copes), and 
velvets of the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, with one or two baldacchini en- 
riched with appliqué embroidery. A group of seven original silk palio banners 
with their weighted staves, from the city of Siena, recall a pageant whose origins 
are in the fifteenth century, and which to this day draws the curious to the City 
of the Contrade. 

Sculpture in stone and marble is represented in the exhibition by animal groups 
and gargoyles, fonts and four original ‘Tuscan fireplaces, including one of the 
school of Michelozzo. A fine collection of no less than seventeen armorial plaques 
in Fiesole stone, limestone and marble, has been assembled over a great period 


of time by Comm. Tolentino, and demonstrates the heights to wnich heraldic deco- 
ration was brought by such sculptors as the Lapi and the Donati brothers and the 
followers of Niccold Pisano; these are essentially well adapted to the decoration 
of halls and gardens. A piece of outstanding interest is a XII century haut relief 
of the Romanesque period portraying the Presentation of Christ in the Temple, 
and contemporary with similar carvings on the pulpit of the Cathedral at Parma. 
This originally belonged to the old Hospital of Bologna and was sold only 
by permission of the national authorities, to raise funds for this institution. 

A delightful bronze group of the Flagellation of Christ is by Alessandro 
Algardi. An assemblage of excavated Etruscan bronzes has been authenticated 
by the well-known classical scholar and expert of the Vatican Museum, Prof. 
Albizzati of the University of Caghari; in it are contained two pieces with de- 
cipherable inscriptions, one a tall candelabrum of an unusual character. 

Among the reliefs are two original masterpieces by Rossellino, one in stucco 
and the other in red terra-cotta, and in exceptionally fine preservation. The former 
is a work hitherto entirely undocumented, and is noteworthy for the introduction, 
above the Madonna and Child, of a garland bearing the medallion of St. George. 
Of the Della Robbia family are works by Andrea and Giovanni, the most important 
being a stanniferous enamel relief, by the first, of Virgin and Child, and a fine 
armorial tondo by his nephew. ‘Iwo enamels from the hand of Benedetto Buglioni, 
collaborator of Giovanni, are also included. 

Two reliefs of the first importance are by Donatello; a large Madonna and 
Child in stucco and the extraordinary wax bas-relief of the Crucifixion [No. 722], 
in which more than a score of figures are presented with amazing subordination of 
detail to composition, and of which a bronze replica exists in the Museo Nazionale 
in Florence; this is possibly the most exquisite piece of the whole collection. Leone 
Leoni, sculptor of some of the most important equestrian statues of the late Renais- 
sance, is represented by a vigorous bust of a warrior, under the influence, as Dr. 
Bodmer remarks, of the goldsmith’s craft of Cellini. 

The paintings cover a temporal field of three centuries and more: primitives of 
Jacopo del Casentino, Giovanni del Biondo and of the school of Orcagna are authen- 
ticated by Dr. Weigelt and precede a little picture by Jacopo Bellini, portraying an 
incident from Boccaccian romance, two panels of tondini [probably by Giovanni 
da Milano] and a charming portrait by Vincenzo Catena of the Venetian school, 
authenticated by Prof. Fiocco. 

Dr. Berenson, writing in the periodical Dedalo, has made mention of the 
beautiful Botticelli Madonna and Child |No. 765], stressing the identity of the 
head of the Madonna with that of the Venus of the “Spring” and maintaining its 
superiority to the Lockinge Madonna and the equally well-known group in the 
Lazzaroni Collection. The painting is full of charm and the most tender sensi- 
bility, and is of extreme importance. 

Lastly, we may refer to the monumental Van Dyck, Christ taken from the 
Cross [No. 766]), authenticated by Comm. Hofstede de Groot of the Hague 
Museum and Dr. Schaeffer, editor of the Klassitker der Kunst volume, in the most 
unambiguous terms; the latter has indeed promised to include a photograph of this 


painting in any future edition of the Van Dyck. Of the end of his first period, 
when he was engaged in emancipating himself from the influence of his master, 
Rubens, the work is a powerful Rubenesque composition, in which color is fear- 
lessly used. 

An attractive setting for a portion of the collection has been provided by 
Comm. Tolentino, who has brought over at considerable expense an entire paneled 
reception room with ceiling, from a castle in Piedmont. For the eclectic are two 
bathrooms in Oriental onyx, of great luxury. 

In this short summary we have endeavored to outline the nature and extent 
of the best collection that this connoisseur has yet brought together, and it is our 
hope that the many friends of Comm. Tolentino will ensure the success of the 
present sale by an appreciation of the taste and labor necessary to have assembled 
such a group of works of art; for, as we have constantly assured our clients, it 
is becoming every day more difficult to purchase in Europe antiquities of the 
highest order.

Circular, with cobalt-blue ground on which is molded in high relief the 
head and shoulders of a youth in a light blue cloak over an orange shirt, the 
long hair and expressive face glazed in white. Contemporary polychromed 
and gilded frame. 
Diameter, 15 inches 
Note: A contemporary and helper of Giovanni della Robbia, from whose 
work his own is often with difficulty distinguished. A comparison with the 
full-length statue of S. Sebastian in Barga (Capuccini), illustrated by Schu- 
bring: Luca della Robbia und seine Familie, page 140, No. 158, and the 
work of Giovanni, would almost warrant an attribution of the present por-

Note: An example of the ‘classical’ style of the ever-restless Giovanni, 
with its hint of Roman sculpture. The simplification of the folds of the 
drapery is used occasionally by him in his figures of Saints, to whom it adds 
a certain strength and ascetic feeling.

DONATELLO 
FLORENTINE: 1386-1466 


[Polychromed stucco haut relief ] 


Maponna AND CHILD 
The Virgin is seen at three-quarter length seated and facing half-left, her 
head tenderly bent down toward the Child, to whom she is giving a dove 
and whom she supports on her right knee. Her robe is brown, and partly 
covered by the graceful sweeping folds of a white veil and blue mantle, 
which fall from the head in long flowing contours. Greenish-blue back- 
ground. In elaborately carved, gilded and polychromed tabernacolo frame 
of the fifteenth century, painted with an escutcheon and inscription: AVE 
GRA. PLENA. 

Height, 34 inches; width, 24 inches 


Note: This stucco is a very characteristic work of Donatello, embodying 
all the well-known characteristics of his Madonnas: the tender profile with 
its classical features, the long flowing folds of the thin veil and the prom- 
inence of straight lines and sharp angles in the figure composition. Cf. for 
example the Orlandini Madonna in the Berlin Museum, executed about 1425. 
The modeling of the chubby head of the Child is almost identical with that 
of the Christ in the Madonna and Child of the Kaiser-Friedrich Museum, 
illustrated in Klassiker der Kunst, XI, p. 171.

722. ‘THE CRUCIFIXION 
‘The foreground is occupied by the tall crosses supporting the figure of the 
Savior between the two thieves, one of whom is being nailed by an execu- 
tioner on a ladder; at the foot is the weeping figure of the Virgin and Mary 
Magdalen and other Saints surrounded by the Roman soldiery in the back- 
ground. Above, in the heavens, appear delicately conceived figures of angels. 
The whole composition is full of the most elaborate detail and distinguished 
by the beauty of the drapery folds and the characteristic graceful profiles of 


the personages. 
Height, 38 inches; width, 29 inches 


Note: The corresponding bronze plaque by Donatello with which the 
above is identical is in the Museo Nazionale of Florence, and is illustrated in 
Klassiker der Kunst, XI, No. 139. The work was executed about 1455, and 
is one of the most impressive of his marvelous syntheses of detail, carried out 
in the maturity of his genius.

Head and shoulders of a grizzled bearded soldier with resolute expression, 
clad in armor enriched with cherub head on the breast and a lion mask on the 
right shoulder; over the left are the folds of a drapery. On Renaissance 
crimson velvet stand. 

Height, 22% inches; width, 24 inches 


Note: A powerful example of the work of this famous architect and 
sculptor, who, under the shadow of Michelangelo, adorned the Late Renais- 
sance. The leaning towards classic Roman portraiture is characteristic. 

Accompanying the above is an autograph signed authentication by Dr. 
Enrico Bodmer, of the Kunsthistorisches Institut of Florence, as follows 
[translation]: “The bust of a warrior reproduced on the back [of photograph] 
is an important work of the first half of the Cinquecento. The virile and 
energetic expression of the head, the treatment of the hair, the delicacy of 
the ornament on the cuirass, on which is sculptured a Medusa [sic] head and a 
mask which covers the right shoulder, indicate the derivation of the artistic 
inspiration. We have in fact a beautiful and finely preserved work which 
has its roots in the art of Cellini, the artistic feeling of which is here dis- 
played with unusual force.” Florence, October 3, 1926.

THE PRESENTATION OF JESUS IN THE TEMPLE. At the right, under a

Child from the hands of the Virgin; behind her, Joseph, carrying an offering 
of two doves. Border with inscription: DUCITUR: AD! TEMPLUM: IESUs:

Height, 22 inches; width, 16% inches 


Note: This rare early plaque was originally in the old Hospital at Bologna 
and was sold in 1925 by permission of the Bargello authorities for the relief 
of the hospital. A conspicuous feature of the composition is the presence of 
the Virgin at the ceremonies of the presentation. The treatment of the draperies 
and the pose and sentiment of the figures show a close relationship to the 
frieze on the Romanesque pulpit of the Cathedral of Parma, executed in 1178 
by one of the earliest masters known: Benedetto Antelami, a descendant of a 
family of sculptors living in the Valle d’Antelamo,

Head and shoulders, the head turned to half-right, of a man wearing a

Height, 10% inches; width, 8% inches 


Note: The above picture has been authenticated by Prof. B. Giuseppe 
Fiocco of the University of Padua as follows [translation]: “This little por- 
trait of a Venetian nobleman is a fine and rare work of Vincenzo Catena 
that I consider to have been painted a little before 1520, a fact which may 
be established from the known date of the pala of St. Catherine and Santa 
Maria Mater Domini at Venice, following Boschini. The contour is still 
beautiful and the influence of Giorgione is seen in the soft features and delicate 
chiaroscuro, and the beautiful brown color of the robe. It is a work in which 
elegance and distinction are combined.”

JACOPO DEL, CASEN TINO 
FLORENTINE: Earty XIV Century, D. 1349 


762. Maponna AND CHILD 
Half-length figure in an olive-green cloak, the hood of which frames the 
face, showing a scarlet robe beneath; the Child wrapped in a white cloth of 
dotted design is held in the embrace of her left arm. Gold background. 
Carved, polychromed and parcel-gilded tabernacolo frame. Very fine pres- 


ervation. 
Height, 31% inches; width, 20% inches 


Note: With the above is a signed authentication by Dr. C. Weigelt, 
of the Kunsthistorisches Institut, Florence (see illustration), reading as follows 
[translation]: 

“A good picture of the end of the middle period of the master, when 
Jacopo still favored the elongated face with broad cheeks in the manner of 
Taddeo Gaddi. The work is a beautiful example of the painter’s eclecticism. 
The Madonna recalls the style of the master of S. Cecilia, while the Child 
shows indications of the manner of Bernardo Gaddi, from whose influence 
Jacopo was turning away. The painting has also stylistic relations with the 
half-length Madonna of the Charles Loeser Collection of Florence. [Cf. 
Richard Offner in Bollettino d’Arte, Vol. III, 1923/24, pp. 248 et seq.] Florence, 


October 9, 1926.” 
| Illustrated | 


Jacopo del Casentino, morto probabilmente 1349 

Buon quadro dei taarine dell’epoca media del maestro, cioe 
quando Jacopo preferiva ancora la faccia allungata con la 
guancia larga nella maniera di Taddeo Gaddi. L'Opera 6 un 
bell ’esempio per l’eclettiamo del pittore. Oltre che la Ma- 
donna ramnenta lo stile del maestro di S.Cecilia si vede 
Bpecialmente nel Bambino le traccie della maniera di Ber- 
nardo Daddi, alla cui influenza Jacopo mal poteva sottrarsi. 
La pittura rivela relazioni1 stilistiche con la Madonna in 
mez2a figura della Collezione Charles Loeser di Firenze.

FLORENTINE: 1447-1510 


MaApbDoNNA AND CHILD 


Three-quarter length figure of the Virgin, her fair hair beneath a transparent 
veil, clad in a red robe under a long green cloak and supporting before her 
the figure of the Child, who, wrapped in a white swaddling cloth, is seated 
on a rose-crimson cushion. Behind her at left and right are delicate vistas 
of landscapes seen through window embrasures. 


Height, 24 inches; width, 17% inches 


Note: In an article in the periodical Dedalo, June 1925, Dr. Berenson 
writes of the picture as follows [translation]: “ . . . The head of the Virgin 
was evidently taken from a painting in a manner and at a moment of Botti- 
celli’s career so near to the manner and moment of the pala of the Accademia 
that probably this other Madonna [the present picture] presents to us our 
original even more clearly than the too-tender Lockinge Madonna or the 
too-sentimental version belonging to the Baron Lazzaroni. This head, in 
fact, in so far as a copy [of itself] is able, reveals a character in full 
harmony with the serious and monumental figures of the Catherine and the 
Magdalen of our painting [the pa/a of the Accademia]. In addition, we felt 
that it was not a head unknown to us. 

Where had we seen her first? Where, if not in the ‘Primavera’? ‘This 
[head] is nearer to that of the Venus of that symphonic painting than any 
of the other Madonnas we have been discussing. The original must hence 
have been conceived during the interval between the prose-painting of the 
pala and the manifestation of that sublime vision of poetry.” 


Note: The conclusion, not drawn by Dr. Berenson, but implicit in his 
criticism, would seem to be that if the entire painting is not the work of the 
master, the beautiful head is at least by Botticelli himself, and in many 
respects the superior of two of his acknowledged paintings. It is further to 
be observed that Dr. Berenson saw the painting in the studio of Mr. Decoq in 
Paris only in its uncleaned condition.

766. CHRist TAKEN FROM THE Cross 


In the foreground the bent bleeding figure of the auburn-haired Savior 
wrapped in a white loin cloth and resting on a sheet; His left arm upheld 
by St. John at the right, clad in scarlet robe under a blue cloak, His right 
by the leaning figure of Mary robed in blue. Behind her stands Mary 
Magdalen with clasped hands, in rose-crimson gown with golden cloak, her 


long fair hair falling over her shoulder. 
Height, 85 inches; width, 56 inches 


Note: The above has been authenticated by the following: 

(1) Comm. Hofstede de Groot, of the Hague. Following a description of 
the canvas [see reproduction of MS.] he writes: “The undersigned considers 
this picture as an authentic and characteristic work of the first period of 
Anthony Van Dyck.’ November, 1922. 

(2) Dr. D. Gustav Grote writes [see reproduction of the MSS.]: “I. . . 
consider it a genuine and characteristic work of Anthony Van Dyck. It is an 
important, powerful composition, painted in the broad manner of his earlier 
period, when he had already left Rubens’ atelier and formed a new style of his 
own. Some years earlier he painted the same subject in a picture in the 
Munich Pinakothek. There the body of the dead Christ is very similar, but the 
other figures are quite different and show still the almost awkward style of his 
earliest work. In the picture reproduced here the composition, expression 
and color are of much higher quality than in the Munich version.” Florence, 
Feb. 23, 1926: 

(3) Dr. Schaeffer, Editor of the Klassiker der Kunst volume. Two auto- 
graph letters signed and dated Florence, October 28 and October 29, 1925 
respectively are as follows [translation]: “In. my opinion the picture repro- 
duced on the back [of this memorandum] is an original work of Van Dyck’s 
earlier period, influenced by Rubens.” In the second letter he states that in 
the event of a new edition of the volume Van Dyck of the Klassiker der Kunst 
series being undertaken, he will include in it a photograph of the present 


picture.
